Hi Tom and John,

Thank you both for your helpful replies.  I really appreciate it!

I tried doing it from Ruby, but I still got exactly the same error.
The only reason I could think of that this wouldn't work would be if
this thread had already entered the MTA.  I checked, and this was the
case.  For example, the simple program

    require 'dotnet'
    puts System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.ApartmentState.ToString

outputs "MTA"

So, I'll use your earlier suggestion.

Thanks again,

Wayne
